WOW what a week it has been! Between the kitchen remodel and having to deal with my computer crashing due to a window update, I think I’m doing pretty good so far.

Monday was the official kick-off of our kitchen remodel. I primed the kitchen cabinets on Monday and on Tuesday put my first coat of white paint on them. I do believe I have finished the final coat of paint on my cabinets as of today. I put a total of four coats of paint on my cabinets. I must tell you I’m so LOVING the white!

The cabinet doors drying.

Hubby had off today (CWS day) and is working hard. He’s taking up the lin0leum flooring and what a mess!

But we have this now just waiting in our garage to replace the linoleum.

I know what we’ll be doing this weekend but I can see sunshine at the end of this tunnel! What a way to spend our anniversary weekend……in the kitchen of all places.

Happy Halloween and have a wonderful weekend!

I’m linking this post to Donna at Funky Junk Interiors for her Saturday Nite Special. This weekend’s theme is anything goes.

Ha ha ha...I love that you are spending your Anniversary in a remodel. For ours my hubby took me to a thrift store and a hardware store...It made me happy:) Your kitchen is going to be stunning in white. Good luck!!!

OOOH I am so excited for you!I cannot wait to see your reveal!!!4 coats is exactly what we did too!What paint did you use?We are FINALLY getting our flooring on Monday and I am so excited!!!All the very best!

The new flooring will be great - and bet it will put some PoP! into your kitchen! Glad I'm not the one scraping up old flooring - that is a MAN'S kind of work!!! Thanks for joining in GET R DONE FRIDAY!

Oooh! It's going to look SO GOOD!!! I can't wait to see the finished project! I love that trip on the cabinets- I would like to do that to mine, but they have this weird lip around the top- ugh. I always end up opening a big fat can of worms!! ;) Happy Halloween!!!

I so know what you're going through. Oh my gosh do I ever! What a smart gal you are to take the doors into that huge garage of yours. (I say huge cuz mine is a single wide)

I also have a tip for your lino removal if you aren't done. When I was removing my lino floor, I had a terrible time. Then I thought about what kinds of things released glue. Heat does. So I grabbed my Wagner wallpaper steamer I had and tried it. Not only did the glue soften, but so did the vinyl! It was like removing butter! Best kept secret now revealed!

I can't wait to watch the transformation of your kitchen!

Thanks for linking up to the party. Happy 'anniversary in the kitchen.' LOL

Oh wow...what a job you've undertaken! Good for you because think of all the money your saving...yay!! Thanks for linkin' up to Frugalicious Friday and I can't wait to see your kitchen reveal! We're thinking of painting our cabs as well...but haven't taken the plunge just yet!

There is nothing hotter, er, more handsome than a loving husband spending his day off tearing up flooring for a kitchen remodel. I swoon! It looks great and as a fellow "white kitchen afficiando" I guarantee you are going to continue to love it!
